Interview with Peter Ackers

When did you first start writing?

This is an easy one. I believe it was 12.41 p.m.

What's the story behind your latest book?

This one isn't finished yet. It's a siege story. I wanted to do something that would write itself, just flow right out of the pen and onto the paper. That didn't quite work, though, because the pen wouldn't stand up by itself.

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?

Just telling the story. It's like creating a giant house of cards or a complex sculpture. It's great to have it slowly unfold and take shape.

What motivated you to become an indie author?

It's tough getting noticed out there. There's a lot of us attacking the publishers and agents, and those guys can only read so much. Obviously a lot of good stories get overlooked. Indie publishing allows those good stories to get an airing. The bad ones, too.

A delivery truck and a tour bus meet on a lonely lane in the middle of nowhere. To pass each other, one must go off the road and into the fog. But there is just one rule out here: don't go into the fog.

It begins as a simple mission to retrieve an artifact from a cave in a mountainous region of France. But it will lead rugged adventurer Adam "Jacky" Jackson across the globe on a dangerous search for an ancient king's tomb and the power it holds.

When a plane crossing the Serengeti Desert is forced to land due to malfunction, the passengers manage to find refuge at a large satellite tracking facility. It's big and sophisticated and it's got all they need, including a large fence to keep the predators out. But they're about to discover that the deadliest animals are on the inside.
